Usage Features
The refrigerator offers several user-friendly features controlled via its display and buttons:
- Control Panel: Features a display, temperature warmer/colder buttons, an OK button, a Mode button, and an ON/OFF button.
- Temperature Regulation: The set temperature for the fridge can be adjusted, with a default of +5°C. The set temperature is reached within 24 hours and remains stored after a power failure.
- COOLMATIC Function: Designed for rapid chilling of large amounts of warm food, preventing other food from warming up. It activates automatically for 52 hours or can be manually switched off.
- Holiday Mode: Allows the refrigerator to remain closed and empty during long holiday periods without developing bad smells. The fridge compartment should be emptied before activating this mode.
- Door Open Alarm: An acoustic alarm sounds if the door is left open for a few minutes, accompanied by a flashing alarm indicator. The alarm stops when the door is closed or any button is pressed.
- MinuteMinder Function: Sets an acoustic alarm for a preferred length of time (1 to 90 minutes), useful for cooling food products for specific durations.
- ChildLock Function: Locks the control panel buttons to prevent unintentional operation.
- DYNAMICAIR Function: A device that allows for rapid cooling and more uniform temperature distribution within the compartment. It activates automatically when needed (e.g., after door opening or in high ambient temperatures) or can be manually switched on. Activating this function increases energy consumption.
- Movable Shelves: The refrigerator walls have supports for adjusting shelf positions as desired. Front half-shelves can be placed under rear ones for better space utilization.
- Variable Storage Box: The model includes a variable storage box fitted under a door shelf compartment, which can slide sideways.
Maintenance Features
- General Cleaning: The appliance should be cleaned regularly using lukewarm water and a neutral soap. A moist soft cloth is recommended; abrasive products, cleaning pads, solvents, or metal objects should not be used.
- Door Seals: Regularly check and wipe door seals to ensure they are clean and free from debris.
- Condenser and Compressor: If accessible, clean the condenser and compressor at the back of the appliance with a brush to improve performance and save electricity.
- Automatic Defrosting: Frost is automatically eliminated from the refrigerator evaporator during normal use. Defrost water drains through a trough into a special container at the back of the appliance, where it evaporates.
- Defrost Water Drain Hole: It is important to periodically clean the defrost water drain hole in the middle of the refrigerator compartment channel to prevent water overflow and dripping onto food.
- Periods of Non-Operation: For long periods of non-use, disconnect the appliance, remove all food, clean the appliance and accessories, and leave the door open to prevent unpleasant smells. If the cabinet is kept on, regular checks are advised to prevent food spoilage in case of a power failure.
- Refrigerant Circuit Maintenance: Maintenance and recharging of the cooling unit, which contains hydrocarbons, must only be carried out by authorized technicians.
- Spare Parts: Always use original spare parts. When contacting service, provide the Model, PNC, and Serial Number from the rating plate.
